Virtualbox E_fail Machinewrap

Posted : admin On 03.08.2019

I'm trying to install a VM with RHEL7 using Virtual Box. This question has appeared several times before but no answer is definitive or even correct. I have tried all the suggestions on other posts.

Virtualbox E_fail Machinewrap Windows 10

I've seen this before, it's been around since VirtualBox 4.3.16 days. Generally, the way to fix it is to re-install VirtualBox. Something happens, either a Windows Update or an anti-virus getting in the way, something gets things into a wonky state. Virtual Box Startup Terminated EFAIL (0x80004005) Fixed I tried to startup my Windows 8 VM the other day and it failed to boot and I immediately got this message: The virtual machine ‘Windows 8’ has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

The VM doesn't boot after simply going through the installation process with Virtual Box. The error message is:

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)Component: MachineWrapInterface: IMachine {b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0}

Any idea what is going on here?

UPDATE!

The problem was fixed by uninstalling Virtual Box and reinstalling version 4.3.12. For some reason, this is the latest version that doesn't show the error.
